Wenger give Jose praise

Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger has praised Jose Mourinho for the work he has done during his time at Chelsea. "It is basically sad because I feel Mourinho is a manager of quality," Wenger told the club's official website.

Wenger commented, "We didn't get on the best, but recently it has become better.

"That does not hide the fact I respected what he did and the quality of his work.

"Of course he is a great manager. He arrived when Chelsea were on the way up; they had a good side already and he did something more and made them winners.

"He deserves a lot of credit for that because it is never easy to win and in England it is maybe more difficult."
